Heartache Just Walked In

Sittiin' in a dim cafe
Listenin' while the jukebox play
The songs I like to hear when I'm alone

Thinkin' of my wasted past
Wonderin' if someday at last
I win the sweetest love I've ever known

Then all at once I saw her
Arm in arm with my best friend
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in

I watched her as she smiled at him
And though the tiny lights were dim
I could see the love light
Shining in her eyes

With aching heart and trembling hand
I stood and watched another man
Hold the girl I wanted for my wife

And as the teardrops started
I thought of things that might have been
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in

--- Instrumental ---

And then my poor heart skipped a beat
She took the table next to me
She didn't even notice I was there

She looked around and just by chance
Our eyes met in a casual glance
She smiled and it was more than I could bare

How could she know the way I feel
To her I'm just a friend
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in...
